About Me

When I’m not styling beautiful bridal looks, I’m soaking up time with my two fun-loving boys and my incredibly supportive husband. Life with them is a mix of spontaneous adventures, messy giggles, and cozy movie nights, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve got a go-with-the-flow attitude and a soft spot for a little excitement, whether that’s trying something new or just embracing the beautiful chaos of everyday life. Balancing my passion for hairstyling with the joys of family keeps me grounded and inspired, and I pour that same love and energy into every bride I have the honour of styling.

I have been in the hair industry for over 15 years now, and it has been an incredible journey! I started as a Saturday girl at just 15 years old while still in school, attending hair and beauty college once a week. I absolutely loved my junior role at the salon—meeting new people every day was such a joy! I was fascinated by how the other stylists transformed their hair, and I loved hearing about their lives. Each day, I felt a sense of happiness watching clients leave the salon feeling absolutely amazing about themselves, and it fueled my passion even more. I couldn’t wait to finish school, dive into my apprenticeship, and do the same!

I completed my Level 1, 2, and 3 training, honing my skills in everything related to hair updos, colours, cuts, perms you name it, I did it! While I enjoyed being a hairdresser, I realised my true happiness came from creating stunning hair updos. After working in the salon for over 10 years and having my second child, I decided to take the leap and work for myself. That’s when I discovered my love for creating beautiful bridal hair for incredible brides! And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a wedding? What a bonus!

For the past five years, I’ve been slowly building my bridal business alongside hairdressing, and it feels like a dream come true. I’m excited because I know that this is just the beginning! Every single day, I’m working towards something bigger and better, and I can’t wait to share that love and passion with you on your wedding day. I am here to help you look and feel absolutely stunning on your special day, and I can hardly wait to get started! 

I can’t believe I get to call this my Job. I love my Job!

Creating a warm, welcoming experience is truly at the heart of everything I do. With a friendly, calming presence, I make sure every bride feels relaxed, heard, and completely at ease from the moment we connect. Your experience should feel just as special as your big day and I’m all about giving you my full attention to make that happen.
When it comes to styling, I’m all about soft, romantic touches with a bohemian twist. Whether you’re envisioning a chic chignon, a glam ponytail, elegant pleats, or something with vintage flair like 50s victory rolls or classic Hollywood waves, I’ll bring your vision to life with a look that feels like you, only elevated.
Our journey begins with a personalised one-on-one consultation and preview session, where your dream style takes center stage. I’m here to guide you with expert advice, inspiration, and plenty of attention to detail so that when the big day arrives, your hair feels like a masterpiece you can’t stop smiling about.
Based in Reading, Berkshire, I primarily serve the surrounding areas but I’m always open to travelling a little further, depending on the occasion!

What Brides are saying.

    Abbie Bonnet

  • Thank you so much for all of your hard work on Saturday. Everyone's hair was beautiful and lasted all day! Everyone was saying how lovely you were and that they were so pleased with how their hair came out. My hair is still curly! I don't know what you do to it but you work miracles honestly. Franky has always had an issue with whenever she curls her hair it drops out, but her curls were as perfect at the end of the night as they were the second you did them. So pleased you were part of my special day.
